Young heron standing by the canal below Compton lock, looking for fish. Someone cam along with a dog, and as they passed, the heron flew across to stand on the bank with the path.

Ground ivy in flower. These were growing on the bank leading up to Hawthorn Wood, almost directly opposite the Wildside Centre.

Jack by the hedge, also known as garlic mustard, is having a good year this year. These were in Bantock Park.

Blushing brackets, lots of them, growing on all the trees round a clearing in Old Nursery Wood, just behind the pond.

A tapered drone fly, a hoverfly, sunning itself on vegetation in the shopping centre at Perton.

Cluster of greater stitchwort flowers growing near the canal near Castlecroft bridge. At the moment they are in the hedgerow all aong the canal.
